FIFA World Cup Soccer Reading Suggestions

Are you wondering what to do with the balance of your day while you are not watching soccer. I recommend picking up a book written by an author from one of the countries featured at the World Cup this year. If you are not up to date on your international writers, check the list below for suggestions of authors and their novels. Links to author websites will be included where possible, highlighted book titles lead to my reviews or those of my online friends.

If you wish to learn more about the participating countries, check the book Who Owns the World by Kevin Cahill with Rob McMahon.

Hey, Stu over at Winstonsdad's Blog has been doing a feature called 'World Cup of Writers' and has been highlighting great writers from each country participating! Also, if anyone decides to read a Nigerian author, do stop by and join my Nigeria mini challenge :D

How fun are these World Cup suggestions! I am reading "Tara Road" by Maeve Binchey right now. If you have a suggestion for a light summer read set near the water, I would love to hear it. Last summer, I read "The Last Summer of You and Me" and I loved it!

Books & Quilts

I've been blogging here since 2007 and have finally found the perfect job. I am now a book seller at Chapters, the largest book store chain in Canada. This is helping to reach an even larger number of readers with whom I enjoy sharing my love of books.
